TOURS
Historian Jennifer Price and I have led a number of day-long tours of the LA River. These tours highlight the history, issues and potential future of representative and significant sites on the river. For groups of 25 or more, and a minimum fee of $25/person, we are available as guides to organizations and other groups interested in learning more about the LA River firsthand. The typical tour begins at 10:00am in Sepulveda Basin and ends around 5:00pm in Downtown Los Angeles, but can be customized to fit the needs of individual groups. We also maintain an email list of individuals interested in joining one of our semi-annual, informal caravan tours. Inquiries should be emailed to rivertour@deliriousla.net.
